I have decided to stop Original and Remake at least for a while and am instead going to do other posts. Last Thursday (April 18th) was Newspaper Columnist Day and while it's a little late I thought I'd make a post about movies revolving around newspaper columnists.  All The President's Men (1976) Directed By: Alan J.

Last year I made a post like this and right now I have terrible writer's block and Easter is this Sunday so I thought I'd make another post with Old Hollywood celebrities celebrating Easter.  Debbie Reynolds Jean Arthur Angie Dickenson Janet Leigh Natalie Wood Jane Powell Until Next Time, Ashley A. 

April is National Humor Month, in honor of that I thought I'd put together a list of my favorite movie comedies. I have films from the 1920s-1980s and some of these aren't just a comedy but a mystery-comedy and romantic comedies. Anyway let's get to the list.  The Cameraman (1928) *Note: The above is a clip from the film, not the trailer. Directed By: Edward Sedgwick and Buster Keaton Starring: Buster Keaton, Marcelie Day, Harold Goodwin Running Time: 68 Minutes Speedy (1928) *Note: The above is a clip from the film, not the trailer. Directed By: Ted Wilde Starring: Harold Lloyd, Ann Christy, Bert Woodruff Running Time: 86 Minutes The Thin Man (1934) Directed By: W.S. Van Dyke Starring: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Maureen O'Sullivan Running Time: 93 Minutes The Great Dictator (1940) Directed By: Charlie Chaplin Starring: Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Jack Oakie Running Time: 124 Minutes ...

Sorry if this post has nothing to do with Old Hollywood, ect., but today (April 2nd) is Children's Book Day and I thought I'd make a post with my favorite children's books. A few of these were turned into movies, that were made from the 30s-60s, so I kinda thought that could be a tie-in with the past. Anyway, here are my favorites.  Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Animated Movie Version / Book / Audio Book The Wonderful Wizard of OZ by L. Frank Baum Movie Version / Book / Audio Book Mary Poppins Movie Version / Book / Audio Book The Nutcracker and The Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffman Movie Version / Book / Audio Book Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans Movie Version / Book / Audio Book Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish Book / Audio Book The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter Book / Audio Book Until Next Time, Ashley A.
